What The Ox Is Really Thinking

Posted on April 29, 2009 | 14 Comments

1. “This guy is the worst conversationalist I have ever seen!”

2. “And he claims to have won every staring contest he’s ever had. Wow, I am SO impressed. Not.”

3. “I guess he would’ve made a good snack, at least – except for the fact that someone marinated him in – what is that stuff called? – Vitalis.”

4. “This advertisement is unfair to musk ox. I have gorgeous hair. But that’s because I use Halo, of course. In the beautiful gold bottle.”

Nope, nothing worse than musk-ox hair. *rolling eyes*

ok, well the picture sort of implies that if you stare at a hairy ox all day it’ll keep your hair perfect. Going off now to find an ox….

lol… I remember that I hated the way my daddy’s hair smelled, cause he used that stuff in the 60′s…

I’d like to know what hair product the musk-ox uses.

I remember the Vitalis Adds, but I don’t remember this one. Actually I think the Must Ox is rather cute.
